RAILROAD BUSINESS BOOMING.Heavy Freight, and PassengerTraffic Reported.Santa Fe and Southern Pacific Againat Loggerheads.A Megjoineenl Train Dua Here Tonight■t tbe Aroerte Daptit—Gerd'eAppointment.Freight officials of the transcontinental roads In this city say that morefreight is now coming into SouthernCalifornia from the east than hasbeen at any other time in six yean. Avery large percentage of thia freightconsists of household goods. At one oftbe freight offices applications are madedaily by people who beg tbat their goodsmay be permitted to remain in tbe depot for a few days till tbe owners canfiud houses to live in.These facts speak weil for Los Angelesend indioate that the present winter islikely to be one ol great business activity and large accessions to our population.THK POMONA AND EI.MSOHIt.Riverside Enterprise: A amall itemin yesterday's issue ooncernlng tbe efforts of tbe Southern I'acitio in tbe lineof securing a right of way over ths oldPomona and Elsinore boom day rail'road route, caused considerable comment on tbe streets yesterday. It alsoeauaed tbe Enterprise to investigate jastwhat movements the company wasmaking in tbe city in the right of waymatter, and it was learned that in addition to the property recently secured bythe company ou the East Side, negotiations were still pending with propertyowners In that section for more lots.On December 14th Col. T. J. Wilson,route agent for the company, placedseven deeds on Hie in the recorder's office (or tbe same number of pieces ofproperty lying along the alleyways parallel to and east of Pachappa avenue.The seven deeds In* question were givenby L. W. Collins. J. W. Merrill, C. T.White, A. Duncan, I. Roboins, HesterOaatleman and Mra. F. A. Cairna.Several other parties owning lend inthe same vicinity who were questionedabont tbe matter acknowledged tbatthey bad bad overturea from the company, or, to be exact, from what iaknown as the Pacific Improvement company, which ia the same as the railroadoompany itself, for their property, andfrom tbe way some of those were spokento it is likely that more deeds will be recorded by Mr. Wilson before long;all ofwhich goea to show that the SonthernPacific company intends coming intoRiverside in the very near future. Thelooation of tbe property purchased bythe oompany as noted above indicatesfurther that the company will comeinto the oitv practically on the same lineincluded in the franchise asked for bythe Motor company, or rather by Mr. O.T. Dyer, some two years ago.At one time it was thought the company would some in parallel with theSanta Fe road, bnt on tbe west side ofthe latter, but this plan is certainly outof tbe question in view of tbe purchasesrecorded above.It is not likely tbat any move towardscoming in will be made until all thenecessary right of way has been aeoured,wtien the Southern Pacific iron horsewill no donbt soon make ita appearancein tbe oity.TUB TRANSCONTINENTAL LINKS.Chicago, Dee. 21.—Now that tbeCanadian Pacific and its affairs have forthe time being been removed from tbeconsideration of the western lines theyhave taken up a matter which promisesto give them almost at much trouble before they are through with it as did theCanadian Pacific. Thia ia tbe oldtrouble between the Atebiaon andSouthern Pacific regarding the ratea viaSan Diego.When tbe meeting convened thiamorning Paaaenger Traffic ManagerWhite of the Atehiaon announced tbatbefore the meeting to perfect a transcontinental association had been calledtbe Atchison road had been promised bythe Southern Pacific that if it wonldbecome a party to the agreement tbeold troubles at San Diego would besettled. Tbe meeting bad gone onfor three weeka and aa yet the Atchison had bsen able to have nothingdone toward tbe adjustment of ita affaire. This could not go on longer, andMr. White made a demand for tbe adjustment of the matter. The roads atonce took up tbe matter and were engaged with it for tbe entire day. Nodefinite action waa taken and the samething will be nnder discussion tomorrowafternoon.Earnings of tbe entire syatem of theAtchieon road for the second week inDecember were $790,893, a decreasecompared with the same week of lastyear of $64,515. The earnings of themonth to date are $1,656,702, adecrease of $90,725.The increase over last year for themonth to date in the earnings of theColorado Midland is $6,828.NEW OFFICERS.At the annual meeting of the SantaFe, Preseott & Phoenix Railway company, the following officers were electedfor the ensuing year: F. M. Murpby,Presoott, Ariz., president; G. W.Vangbn, Presoott, Ariz., vice-president,general manager and chief engineer; O.G. Bowen, Detroit, Mich , seerstary andtreasurer; F. J.

Murphy, G. W.Vaughn and C. O. Bowen, exsentivecommittee.NOT WORRIED.The announcement of tbe incorporation of the San Francisco and Los Angeles railroad in the former city leaves therailway men here very oalm and unexaited. The incorporation is due to theexpiration of the franchise of the SanFrancisco and Atlantic Railroad oompany, which had no property and nocapital and the present step ia considered merely a precaution to prevent theold franchise from lapsing.A SPLENDID TRAIN.Tonight at 8:10 o'elook the weeklySunset limited train will arrive in thiscity from New Orleans, en route to SanFrancisco. Its appointments are magnificent, consisting of a hotel car, diningrooms, sleeping and parlor oar, barbershop and library. On leaving the Crescent city there were 89 passengers onboard, but this number is apt to be Increased to a great extent before theGolden Gate city is reached.NO WASHOUTS.General Manager JL H, Wads of theWe find that in many respects the service is inefficient and inadequate. Passengers (both men andwomen) are often compelled to stand from one end of the line to the other in consequence of the companynot running a sufficient number of cars. Many of the cars ran on the cable lines are totally unfit to beused in rainy or cold weather. They subject passengers to exposures which are likely to result in sickness and death. The same may be said of the trailers run on the electric lines.—[Extract from theReport of the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce.Southern California railway is greatlypleased with the success of the precautions he bad taken to prevent damagesto his road by rain.Mr. Wade has terraced and ditchedthe most exposed portions of the roadbed in the Cajon pass, and although thetremendons amount of five inches ofrain fell there in the recent storm, noharm waa done. By hia action in thiswork be has saved hia company a greatmany thousands of dollars.PERSONAL MATTERS.O. K.

Kraut on "The Day ofHis Coming:."The OonhlillM Wlndt Cp With Toltlmo-Dials From ••All Who LureIlls Appearing."Yesterday was tbe concluding day ofthe Premillennial conference,which ha*been held since Tuesday in the FirstBaptist church, corner of Sixth streetand Broadway. A considerable amountof interest has been evinced in this conference, and several papera of a bigbtheological value have been read duringthe session, several of which were reported at length in these colnmns.Among the papers tbat were readyesterday were those of the Rev. GeorgeE. Dye on the Holy Spirit and SecondAdvent; Characteristics of tbe Millennium, by Rev. J. S. Mabie, D. D.; TheRupture and the Revelation, by Rev.W. C. Stevens; Is tbe Present ChristianDispensation a Failure, by Rev. A. C.Junkin, D. D.The concluding lecture of tbe conference waa entitled, The Day of His Coming. It waa written by Rev. Roland D.Grant, D.D., of Portland, Ore., but itwaa read by Dr. Read, paator of theFirat Baptist ohurob. Tbe divine badtaken for his text, Mark 13-32: "But olthat day and hour kuoweth no man; no,not tbe angola in heaven, nor the Son,but the Father."Aa to the atudlea of the prophecies, hesaid, there are two prevailing views;both are extremists. One class insistsnpon coming to definite data aa to thetime of our Lord's return. All its calculations are based upon exact data,bringing about very close results. Thisclass is known as "definite timists."The other class quite thoroughly abjures tbe wbole thing; treats definitetime as though it was almost a sin. Iteither spiritualizes the prophetical portions of scripture, or brings tbem tofulfillment at the destrnction of Jerusalem or some earlier event. Either claaaia quite aevere in its oriticisms of theother. Wbiie the definite timiata areover-likeW to run into fanaticiam, the"no timiata" sin equally much, eitherby an indolent unwillingness to enterinto careful study of tbe prophecies, orby a misconception of tbe wboleplan. The text which had beenquoted ia a favorite one with thosewbo reject so-called time questions.Tbey say "this once for all settles thematter of non-knowing." It would bethe lecturer's purpose to find, tf possible, a medium ground and a properbalancing of this verse. He would venture to study tbe deepest meaning in allthe worda of the verse. By analyzingevery portion of tbe text and by bringing to beer upon each an array of quotations from tbe Bible, be succeeded inthe taak he had carved out for bimaelf.Among aome ol the remarks made bytbe reverend iecturer was tbe following:When we say tbat He oame from thenon-time to this time condition, let noone.find comfort for the Unitarian ideaor want of idea. Christ was God projecting Himself into these hnman conditions for the purpoae of making forgiveness possible. The wbole so-called system that lets down from tbe divinity ofChrist we sincerely despise.n conclusion tbe lecturer said thathis object was to correct the non-knowing suffering Christ with His churohand with all the final prophetio glory ofthe Apocalypse. In reply to tbe question, "Why do we not know ol tbe exact moment of our Lord's return?" hewould say that there were four answers.First—Because of oar stnpidity. It is aquestion of human limitation, lack ofspiritual light and insight. The exactmojaaant eartainlv ia thara. hidden.among the mystic symbols. Second—We find a difficulty in the perspectiveof prophecy. Third—Prophecy was notgiven for the purpose of knowing whatwonld happen tomorrow. Fourth-Does the church want Him to come?Did yon not bear it said: "I do not carewhen He comes, so only I he ready."We are commanded to watch ; it is nota suggestion, but a command.The attitude of the church from firstto last is tbat of watching like the dogpeering in the darkness beyond, and hewill not be surprised. Some watch tbeprophecies, not with a mathematicaleye, for they are not for the brain somuch as for tbe heart. Tbey have beentreated with dry calculation, but tbeywere given for spiritual life and blessing.At the conclusion of this paper testimonies were called for from ''all wholove hia appearing," which were heartily given by many of the very large eongreation. The conference finally concluded with a great and fervent religions enthusiasm.VALUABLE SUGGESTIONSBY THK BUPKRVISOIUATi CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.It Moats and Makes Timely Recommendations Pertaining to CountyGovernment and Stats Lan s.Tbe meeting ol tbe chairmen of tbeboards of aapsrvisors of Southern California who were appointed as a specialconference committee by the Supervisorial congress was held in the roomsof tbe Los Angelsß board of supervisorson Thursday, Dsoember 20th.
